NEW FERRY BUTTERFLY PARK-WIRRAL

Today I visited the newly established New Ferry Butterfly Park on the Wirral. The site, managed by the Cheshire Wildlife Trust, has been transformed over the years from former railway sidings just off Bebington railway station into a thriving habitat for wildlife.

The park offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy butterflies and other wildlife in a well-designed, accessible setting. For further information on the site, visit the Cheshire Wildlife Trust website.

Twenty-six species of butterflies have been recorded at the park

  Common Grasshopper

 Gatekeeper
  Small tortoiseshell
 Common Blue

 Brimstone
 Small Skipper
 Speckled Wood
The Butterfly Park

Other Moths I have seen this month have included:
 Yellow-tailed Moth

 Buff Tip Moth
 Large Yellow Underwing Moth
Small Magpie
